ADAPT: Connection begins with perception

by Dr. Jason Luchtefeld



In this interactive session, you’ll expand from self-awareness to social awareness - understanding the emotions, cues, and motivations of others. We’ll explore empathy, rational compassion, and mindfulness as core competencies for modern dental leadership. Through the Listening Lab, you’ll experience the difference between passive, active, and reflective listening and learn how each influences trust, clarity, and collaboration. The result: stronger patient rapport, smoother team communication, and a deeper appreciation for how awareness of others creates a more connected practice. Part 3 of the 4-course series.

Upon completion of this course, you should be able to:
            
  • Define social awareness and its link to empathy & perspective.
  •             
  • Differentiate between passive, active, and reflective listening.
  •             
  • Apply rational compassion in professional interactions.
  •             
  • Recognize verbal and nonverbal communication cues.
